Greetings from the New World across the pond. In the next days I will order a DGT board and the DGT PI with my $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ unless theendgame3 has a valid, for me, objection why I should not spend my money on a board and use it where ever I want. and everybody can have different habits of how to learn something. and not just on the monitor because nowadays we have it. There are many ways to learn to play chess. I would understand the $$$$$$$$$ would be money of theendgame3. So, alternating the place where to play is a nice thing. Having a DGT PI or maybe a Centaur board one can play against the computer and get used to real figures. I have been on the monitor but with the time I get tired and think that it is better to alternate between a board with real figures and the monitor.Īlso when I get tired of being in the house it would be nice to be able to sit in the garden under the roof of the pergola in the fresh air. Me too as a beginner am debating what to buy and honestly the above answer does not help at all. SquareOff board is just rubbish and waste of money for a beginner.Īnd you don't need a Centuar board neither. Also use the forums for advice for beginners.Įverything is on for you to learn and improve- save your $$$$$$$$$ bro. Just practice lots of tactics, openings, watch the videos, use the lessons on here, and play live games and see where you went wrong in analysis- no need for anything else. You don't need to buy anything whilst you are a beginner. Whereas your reply was as useful as an accordion player in a deer hunt. He is a beginner, he doesn't need them- anyway he asked for an opinion and I gave him mine.Īny decent player would agree with what I said. I believe there are plenty of people that own a Centaur, Certabo or DGT e-board that enjoy these pieces of hardware very much. do you still use them regularly or are they gathering dust?).įor random people to tell him "You don't need it!" or "It is a waste of money" doesn't really seem helpful to me. which use cases are the devices suitable for?) and (b) experiences from other people that own these devices (e.g. Only OP can make that decision, but he will need advice in the form of (a) objective information on the devices (e.g. So it is up to OP to make his personal judgement whether the amount of fun he expects from these devices is high enough for the amount of money they cost. In fact, you do not even need to play chess in the first place. Well, of course you don't need these things. That sounds like more of a real investment and less of a novelty. But if I can improve along with my kid, it will help in the future. But honestly, it doesn't help me improve yet. I analyzed a few of the games I played against a bot, and it tells me where I blundered. Interfacing with the different chess engines would be great once I know how to use that data. I don't care about winning tournaments or anything - just to be able to learn and be better than I am. I am trying to keep up with him so I can help him improve, and then after that I'd like to be able to play against others once Covid is over. He's better than me, which is fine, but he's taking lessons because he seems to really get the strategy bit. Good questions! I do seem to prefer playing OTB instead of the computer, but right now my 9 year old is the only one I have to play. Are you interested in playing OTB (over the board) chess once this COVID19 is over? I think you need to determine what your goals are. Is there such a thing of a board that would connect to my phone for practice and or live play? Appreciate any answers or recommendations. I’m an IT guy and would rather use my laptop. I’m not interested in buying a separate computer DGT PI to connect to the board. Everyone recommends I play humans, so my question is this just the same ol playing computers like I do on the app or is it more human like, and why? Re: the DGT smartboard since it connects to chessdotcom I know I can connect it to my laptop and play other humans, but what about playing against a computer/engine that matches my level like the centaur? Since I’m a beginner I won’t always want to play humans on timed games, but ideally want the opportunity should I choose. The Centaur appeals to me because it would allow me to practice on a board that supposedly will match your skill. I’ve played 7 human games lost 5, need more practice, but have beat all the beginners computer bots both as white and black. I’m very new to chess, been playing the beginner computers on the chessdotcom app, everyone recommends I play humans.
